What is Indian Paneer Tikka?

In literal Indian to English translation, the term “tikka” means any ingredient (typically meat, or in this case paneer) marinated and then cooked by grilling, frying, or baking. “Paneer” is a type of Indian cottage cheese.

Paneer Tikka is a popular appetizer served in many Indian restaurants. As the name implies, Paneer Tikka is marinated Indian paneer that is then grilled in a tandoor, or in this recipe, roasted in the oven.

The result? A perfect batch of crispy-on-the-outside and juicy-on-the-inside paneer, complete with flavorful roasted peppers.

How to Make Indian Paneer Tikka in the Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet (I use this one).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, garam masala, lemon juice, salt and oil. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.
  3. Add in bell peppers and mix until combined. Then add in the paneer cubes and
    toss to combine. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap or towel and and let the mixture marinate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Arrange the paneer and bell peppers in a skewer, alternating between bell peppers and
    paneer cubes. Place the skewers in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until paneer tikka is golden and crisp on the edges. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
